"Unable to check for downloads. Network connection was lost".

Has this been happening to anyone else in the UK recently? I've been unable to download my purchases from the iTunes store for the last day- although I'm able to log in to my Apple ID and my internet's working fine.

I'm starting to grind my teeth. Any solidarity?

iTunes Store-OTHER, iOS 7.0.4

I figured out the answer to this problem, and I posted it here:

I too had this problem. After reading several comments and solutions, I remember someone mentioning unchecking "always check for downloads". That solved my problem.

Checkbox can be found at iTunes->Preferences->Store

"Unable to check for downloads. Network connection was lost".
